Olympics - 8 years to prepare and they mess up on day 1 (well minus 2 actually)
It's not even officially started yet and the Olympics is already presenting its first **** up.
The North Korean women's football team are playing in Hampden Park and the flag used is for South Korea...... FFS!!!!
Just about the most politically sensitive two countries on the planet and the wrong flag is used..... it beggars belief really!

Some used toilet paper would have been more fitting.

A bit embarrassing isn't it?!? 
Let's hope their aren't many others!
From what I saw at the technical rehearsal on Monday it seemed to all go rather well.

The company I work for has been involved in the construction and so a number of us were invited along to see the techinical rehearsal.
I thought it was a great show. It will be different watching it on the TV of course because the atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic.
I'm sure not everyone will like it and some will say it's rubbish and a waste of time and money but you will get that with every show on the planet. You can't please all the people. 
Something like this will come under such heavy scrutiny. It seems there are lots of poeple out there hoping for it to fail and so that type of person will pick up on any little mistakes and make a big deal about it. The money's been spent so you might as well just enjoy it now.

I am however looking forward to the actual competition amongst the best in the world. I also subscribe fully to the Olympic ideal since I believe that sporting competition will improve friendly relations between countries and the people involved.

I watched the ladies football yesterday and was very impressed. The standard of play was top class and what a pleasure to not have to put up with cry-babies lying on the floor after a tackle hoping that the big act will earn them a penalty!

Men's game consists of kick ball, dive when the opposition is near, roll around on floor and cover face with both hands.

**** Up No2: They have just realised that the curving roof in the swimming venue obstructs the view from some of the seats; it was mentioned on the news this morning. I mean ffs, what sort of moron(s) design a sporting venue in this day and age where parts of the building infrastructure would impair viewing ability?

Quote F1 'The opening ceremeny has cost £80 million'
No it's £27M
So my only 'issue' is THE FACTS, which of course you are being deliberately inaccurate with

Oh I see, oh ok yep fair enough.
A mere £80 million for the ceremonies in total and a paltry £27million for the opening of the main games.... well that's a bargain then
It still means £80 miillion is being frittered away on frivolous crap!
